Good MorningThe U.S. equities markets fell on Monday after investors begin to turn their focus on new risks. Among them, growing political turmoil related to the Presidential election and the transition of power. The FBI reported protests at all 50 state capitals and in the District of Columbia. Democrats in the House of Representatives have already written new articles of impeachment and plan to vote on them this week.
Elsewhere in the market, the Biden presidency threatens equity prices in other ways. Not only is the threat of higher corporate taxes real but an increasingly regulatory environment is expected. The sector most at risk is the tech-sector and that can be seen in the day’s action. The NASDAQ Composite shed more than 1.50% while the S&P 500 and blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average posted much smaller losses.
